HyperTerminal Interface
The Alpha FXM front panel has a USB connector. When connected to a PC with Windows® HyperTerminal or
other terminal emulation software, the Alpha FXM can be remotely monitored and controlled with the Hyper-
Terminal command-line system.
HyperTerminal is a Windows application that helps to connect your computer to other remote computers using one
of the USB com ports. The FXM350 has a USB port, not an RS232 port. When the USB device's driver is
implemented as a virtual com port it can be used as a normal com port
The HyperTerminal program is included in the Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating systems. Running
HyperTerminal on any other operating system requires a 3rd party application designed for this purpose.
The following subsections describe the operation of the Alpha FXM via the USB interface:
